Overview

Welcome to the NC Manufacturing Verification User's Guide.
This guide is intended for users who need to become quickly familiar with the product.

This overview provides the following information:

NC Manufacturing Verification in a Nutshell

NC Manufacturing Verification enables easy validation of machining processes and analysis of  the accuracy of machined parts. This product detects and reports collisions between the tool/tool holder and stock/fixture in a graphical form. It also identifies machining operations and tools responsible for these errors. NC Manufacturing Verification helps analyze the accuracy of machined parts by detecting gouge and remaining material. These results are displayed in a graphical form with the innovative use of color contours on the machined part. Tools to analyze machined parts geometrically are also provided.

NC Manufacturing Verification seamlessly provides analysis and validation capabilities to NC Manufacturing. It provides tight interaction between tool path generation, simulation (material removal) and edition.
